India to Saudi Arabia travel guidelines
Entry requirements
According to the latest update from Saudi Embassy in New Delhi, Indian people would no longer need to submit police clearance documents to obtain a visa to Saudi Arabia as a part of the two nations’ efforts to further improve bilateral relations
Non-Saudi nationals holding tourist visas are now allowed to enter the Kingdom (even if they are unvaccinated) if they have fulfilled such requirements:
- Passengers travelling to Saudi Arabia must download and register on the Tawakkalna app at least 8 hours after arrival.
- All guests intending to visit the Kingdom (excluding Saudi Citizens, Residents and GCC Citizens) must have medical insurance that covers the costs of COVID-19 treatment.
Vaccination, testing and quarantine requirements for Indians and foreigners have been lifted.
Umrah from India
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has reopened Umrah visa applications following a successful Hajj season. Umrah seekers from India and all over the world are now allowed to apply for the pilgrimage.
Recently, the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah allowed women aged 18 to 65 to perform Umrah without a male guardian or “mahram”, but on the condition that they are a part of a group. They are also required to be vaccinated for one dose (partially vaccinated) and free of any diseases.
Pilgrims should perform Umrah only once in the season so that others too get the chance to perform the holy ritual. They should book their Umrah slots online through the Nusuk or Tawakkalna apps. Once booked, pilgrims must stick to the date and time of their appointment.
Moreover, religious tourists have been allowed to arrive and depart on scheduled flights through any international airport in the kingdom.
